<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3060055, member: 19463&quot;]I missed where it was mentioned what the coin was graded or how it was slabbed but it remains&nbsp; nice coin despite the damage.&nbsp; The &quot;relatively high price&quot; most certainly is due to the 12 Caesars inclusion of the otherwise inconsequential ruler.&nbsp; I have never understood the desire of new collectors to start with such coins but I am glad you have included Trajan who might possibly be considered the most consequential Roman who was not boosted by being in the Twelve.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The question now is where to go from here.&nbsp; The obvious &#039;good&#039; answers would be Vespasian or Nero who were in the Twelve and appeared in more than the footnotes of history.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might suggest a Roman Republican or even something not Roman at all (antiquity was a very big place).&nbsp; The answers more will want because of their popular demand and higher price would be Caligula or Galba.&nbsp; Do show us when it arrives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
